Chapter 970 - 970: Li Ying's Foresight

"Is it enough to just not charge you?" Nie Longjiao stepped in front of the shop owner, her tone icy.

The shop owner's brows furrowed, "Then what more do you want?"

She had suspected that Xiao Feng and Nie Longjiao might be undercover police, but then again, they had mentioned calling the police earlier.

If they were police, would they need to call the police?

"It doesn't matter who installed the camera. Since it showed up in your store's fitting room, this needs to be thoroughly investigated," Nie Longjiao said sternly, "What if we hadn't discovered it?

Isn't secretly filming people changing illegal?"

"Did you come here to buy clothes, or to stir up trouble?" the shop owner snapped, "I'm even suspecting that the camera is yours, and you're trying to frame me."

Xiao Feng chuckled, "In that case, you should definitely call the police."

"Are you just bored out of your mind?" the shop owner folded her arms and coldly said, "You'd better stay out of it, or you'll bring trouble upon yourself."

"Who are you calling bored?" Hua Ling retorted defiantly.

The shop owner pointed at the takeout bag in Hua Ling's hand and sneered sarcastically, "If you're not bored, why pack so much food?"

Nie Longjiao had no interest in further bickering and immediately took out her phone to call the police.

"What are you doing?!" The shop owner panicked and tried to snatch the phone.

However, she was no match for Nie Longjiao's speed and grabbed nothing but air.

"You'll regret this!"

Leaving a harsh remark, the shop owner began making a phone call, effectively severing the buyer-seller relationship.

"Hello!

Get over here quick!

Yes, there's trouble. If you can't make it in five minutes, don't blame me for what happens."

As the shop owner made her call, Nie Longjiao took another look at Hua Ling.

A pinhole camera is not something just anyone can easily discover.

And this seemingly fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl found it in just a few minutes, which shows she's no ordinary person...

Xiao Feng, having no such qualms, flicked Hua Ling on the forehead and asked, "Your brain is finally working?"

"What do you mean, brain working?"

"How did you find the camera earlier?"

"With this," Hua Ling pointed to the white watch on her wrist and explained, "This is something Qian Shaoyuan from our team invented. You press this button.

If there's any bugging or hidden camera equipment around, it'll sound an alarm."

Xiao Feng nodded in understanding; the "beep, beep, beep" sound earlier must have come from this watch.

Hua Ling sighed, seeming somewhat helpless, "I originally didn't want to wear it, but before I left, Sister Li Ying insisted I wear it.

She told me to press the button on the watch if I needed to undress or felt something was wrong."

"Did you tell Li Ying you were coming to see me before you left?" Xiao Feng asked.

"No," Hua Ling shook her head, "I just wanted to go out and clear my mind."

"And accidentally ended up clearing your wallet instead?" Xiao Feng gloated.

Hua Ling immediately jumped up, shouting "Refund! Refund!"

Xiao Feng shifted the topic, "Honestly, you really do have the luck of a fool. If not for Li Ying's attentiveness, who knows, one day I might have seen you changing on some website."

"You actually look at those sites?" Hua Ling said with disdain, completely ignoring the "luck of a fool" comment.

"Oh?" Xiao Feng raised an eyebrow and smirked, "What kind of sites are you talking about?"

Hua Ling's cheeks turned bright red, ashamed and angry, "Stop pretending to be clueless."

"Sorry, I genuinely don't understand which kind of sites you're referring to."

"Hmph! I can't be bothered with you!"

Xiao Feng turned to Nie Longjiao, "Do you understand?"

"I don't understand," Nie Longjiao rolled her eyes dramatically.

At this moment, the shop owner approached with a fierce expression, "If you know what's good for you, leave immediately, or else you'll regret it."

"What a coincidence. Just before coming here, we had an experience of biting off more than we could chew," Xiao Feng chuckled, pointing to the takeout bag in Hua Ling's hand.

The shop owner realized that Xiao Feng and the others were determined to confront her, so she said nothing further, turning to the counter, her eyes filled with hostility.

Soon, a young man wearing a black down jacket, standing about 1.7 meters tall with short hair, looking very spirited, walked in.

The shop owner immediately got up to greet him, pulling him aside to whisper.

Once the man understood the situation, he approached Xiao Feng with a smile and extended his right hand, "Nice to meet you, I'm Lv Baoping. I'm the one who installed the camera in the fitting room."

This statement left Xiao Feng and the others a bit surprised.

It's unexpected that he would straightforwardly admit it, and with such a good attitude, it's hard not to be surprised.

After waiting for a while and seeing that Xiao Feng didn't extend his hand, Lv Baoping retracted his hand and said, "Don't get me wrong, I'm not arrogant or overly confident, and I don't have significant backing.

Since you've discovered it, I'm willing to admit defeat."

He then pulled five bundles of hundred-yuan bills from his pocket and placed them on the table beside him, "It's not much, but take it as a token.

Just pretend you didn't see anything and take the money."

Nie Longjiao sneered, "Is secretly filming people changing clothes your personal hobby?"

"No," Lv Baoping shook his head, "I'm just satisfying the needs of those who have that hobby in exchange for payment."

Xiao Feng clicked his tongue, "You're quite the businessman, essentially making a profit with no capital."

As soon as he said this, it immediately drew double glares from Nie Longjiao and Hua Ling. Even the youngest, Wu Xinqi, slightly furrowed her brow.

Managing to offend everyone around him with one sentence is quite a talent.

Lv Baoping checked the time and said, "The police are on their way. I hope you'll give me an answer quickly. Are you taking the money or not?"

Nie Longjiao and Hua Ling were about to lose their temper, but before they could say anything, Xiao Feng raised his right hand and tapped his chest with his index finger.

Both of them paused, not understanding what this meant.

Meanwhile, Lv Baoping's expression changed, and he said in a muffled voice, "It seems you're not an ordinary person. Mind telling me if we're in the same line of work... or did I offend you somehow?"

"Why can't I just be a concerned good citizen with a sense of justice?" Xiao Feng retorted.

Lv Baoping's expression darkened, "It seems you're unwilling to tell me the truth?"

"Whether you believe it or not is up to you," Xiao Feng shrugged, looking indifferent.

Checking the time once more, Lv Baoping took a deep breath and said, "Two options.

First, I add another fifty thousand, and you take the money and leave, and we mind our own business from now on.

Second..."

At this point, Lv Ziming reached into his pocket and took out an object.

Nie Longjiao and Hua Ling's pupils suddenly contracted, and Wu Xinqi screamed in fright. Even Xiao Feng couldn't help but focus intently, his smile gradually fading.
